Do you know how far an ember can travel before starting a new fire? Or that the heat and ferocity of a bushfire could melt the trailer off a ute?
\nVictoria is one of the most fire prone areas in the world and bushfires and grassfires are a part of life.
\nThe fire season is starting earlier and running later. All Victorians need to know how to plan for and respond to fire.
\nDuring this period of hot weather, make sure you monitor fire danger ratings.
\nIf a Code Red or Extreme Fire Danger Rating is declared, do not travel to areas that have dense bush. Instead go to built up cities or towns for the day.
